1t pushes on the growth of the plant
roots as well as foliage, and the more
and deeper the roots are the more able
the plant is to gather moisture from
the soil in a dry time. Make the

crops will resist adversely as strong
man will resist disease.

have larger surface of soil and tops
more air and sunlight.-Troy Times.

In vegetable growing, deep, rich
soil, now SO generally condemned for
fruit gardens, is of the first impor-
lance. Soil can not be too rich or too
deep, if he would have good vegeta-
bles. We 60 to work differently to get
good fruits than to perfect vegetables.
While, for instance, we have to get
sunlight to give the best richness to
our fruits, our vegetables are usually
best when blanched or kept from the
light. So, also, as we keep the roots
as near the surface as we can, in order
to favor the woody tissue in trees, we
like to let them go deep in vegetables,
because this favors succulence.--Ga
